Weigh in - Jan 14th 2008

CeCe, do you ever have pains in your abdomen? I do all of the time. Last week it was consistently on the right side and this week it's on the left. I hope I don't have internal scar tissue forming! Tonight at the gym I was holding my stomach with one hand and working the weights in the other hand! I was about to let a little pain make me stop. Wanda

good news Cece!

After being sick for so long, I am finally better.... I was excited about the weight that I lost from the illness, even though that was not a good way to lose it.... I was really worried that once I started eating again and not running to the bathroom all day that I would gain that weight right back... but I haven't.... I amazed myself... Now I just need to keep it up..... Here are my stats: Starting weight = 309 Last weeks weight = 176 This weeks weight = 176 Loss this week = 0 (Woooooo Hooooo!!! I maintained that big loss from last week!) Total Loss = 133 HUGs to All, Shawn M.

Shawn - this is GREAT! Maintaining that big loss - whoooooooooooooo hoooooooooooo you go girl

Well despite my poor eating habits lately I still weigh 135. My lowest weight was 132. Unlike my friend, CeCe, I don't think I could ever get into the 120's. I'm going to try to hang in this neighborhood. I am so happy to be exercising again. I bought a book called 28-Day Body Shapeover. Tonight was my first night. I absolutely love it! I'm going to have fun following it because it makes me do things that I wouldn't do on my own. I really want to look great for my company conference in April. Our company sends all of the administrators in Florida and Texas to an incredible get away. This year it will be a dude ranch in Arizona. I want to shock people who haven't seen me in a while. Too bad I don't have time for that face lift... Britt, all I can say is thank God I'm past the child bearing years! I feel for you, sister! There are a few advantages to getting older. Not many--but a few. Wanda

Hey Wanda! Great job with your weight! That book sounds cool! Let us know how it works!!!! Exciting. Your company sounds like they really take care of their employees - sounds like a GREAT get-away. This BC really stinks - We tried and tried to get pregnant - NOW we are TRYING not too!!!! Crazy! Each Birth Control I try makes me gain - UGH!!!!! hUGS, Britt

Wow, I can't believe I forgot to post last week. By the time I thought about it it was Thurs or Fri and figured I would just wait for today. It has been a pretty crazy time with all of the wedding planning. I have gotten a lot done. the official date in Nov. 8, 2008. We have the church and reception hall set. I also have my dress and we have a DJ. We have 3 appts to meet photographers over the next week and a half. My Mom and I went to a Bridal show on Sun and I managed to say no to all of the cake testing and just sipped on my water. My Mom said that she was caked out by the end. lol I only had 1 person ask why I didn't try any and I just said that I have sugar issues and left it at that. Britt, I am sorry that the nuvaring isn't working for you I have been on it for 2 months now and my weight loss has jump started since then I have lost about 11 lbs since then. Ok so stats this week: Start weight: 268 Last weigh in: 145 Weight this week: 143.5 Loss for 2 weeks: 1.5 Total Loss: 124.5 Current BMI:23.7 Have a great week! hugs, Kim
